Wed, 23 Jan 2013 21:11:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=266302#comment-268707Less than 1% huh? That’s a lie considering that the Engineers have dropped anyone whom has services MTU on the downstream to 576. If you check your gateway and go to Settings/Broadband/Status under the Internet details section you’ll see the MTU. I’m sorry but dropping the MTU of customers who’s service is working just to try to supposedly lighten the load on the network to reroute non working customers isn’t fair to me. I haven’t been able to log into XBox live for 2 days do to this. (XBox live requires a minimum MTU of 1346 to connect.) Even though ATT is having the issue, the only company to post anything about it has been Microsoft.http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status

I’ve had nothing but issues with ATT whether it be their lousy TV/Internet or Wireless phone service. They are over priced and under equipped. Only reason they hold so many customers is because for the most part they hold a controlled monopoly over the areas they cover.

In closing I can only say, pathetic ATT truly pathetic.

Wed, 23 Jan 2013 20:42:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=266302#comment-268705As a prior network engineer for Sprint, I called in and asked for specific information regarding signal multiplexing and dhcp servers, and was finally told that AT&T was in the process of upgrading their services in multiple states, in which a few servers were taken down in each area at a time, which caused an overload on the remaining dhcp servers. In the meanwhile, the upgrade proved to be either incompatible or ineffective and now they cannot bring the rest of the dhcp servers back up. This is why those who have been having intermittent connection issues, and have NOT restarted their modem can still have a connection, albeit slow and unstable because of the remaining dhcp servers being overloaded. However, it would be wise for you to still restart your modem if you are having connection issues even if intermittent, which would allow for the UNIX-based dhcp servers to adjust accordingly…

Does this mean the real pirates are those who wish to raise taxes heavily?

Wed, 23 Jan 2013 02:52:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=266302#comment-268589Yeah, unsurprising. More and more pointless, self-indulgent crap where substandard products aren’t selling and they blame it on pirates leading to the rest of us being screwed over.

Wed, 23 Jan 2013 01:16:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=266302#comment-268576My u-Verse internet service has been out for more than 30 hours in NC. I just concluded an on-line chat with Tier 2 support — because it is impossible to actually talk to a human being there. Their response is they still have no idea as to when service will be restored to us in Charlotte.

Wed, 23 Jan 2013 01:16:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=266302#comment-268577I should mention that it’s likely a DNS issue at AT&T due to the Six Strikes deal.

Wed, 23 Jan 2013 00:48:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=266302#comment-268569I’m in Tennessee and discovered something interesting. If I connect to the internet with a proxy, I can browse the web. If I attempt to use AT&T’s IP address instead of a proxy, then I can’t get to websites and I get DNS Server and Timeout errors. The problem seems to be in AT&T’s range of IP addresses only.
